Quoting: Anonymousany news on the CMST patch front?

Much part of csmt code its added on wine recent versions (this situation have described for stefan dosinger) but all work not integrated for now, crossover seem have it

But at this time, wine 1.8 stay more closer and CSMT has mentionated for wine 1.8 release criteria

Something more, CSMT results can vary depend game, in ones give more performance in others its equal, in others is worst or in others give graphic bugs

On my channel have some csmt test if you need

Quoting: JIghtuseSome folks (e.g., Joel Spolsky thinks that you must not write new code until you have unfixed bugs. It is hard and it is not the case with Wine development. But hey, do you keep a bug in a code you work on just because it is used in rare cases you can use native programs for GNU/Linux?

For example, I do not think that is a bug in Wine:

"Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris fails to start"

This game is available for Linux and Mac OS X.
Moreover, I strongly believe that Wine should inform their users about availability of the games that are available for Linux and Mac OS X.
In my view, users should not rely on Windows applications, if they do not have to use them. Why WIne developers do not care about native applications for Linux and Mac OS X?
